I’m here, and wouldn’t you know….

People, I am IN MARYLAND.I am thrilled beyond all belief, and so fustrated that I have to wait another 15 hours for the show. I want me some fiber now. Dammit.
I’m in Frederick, the drive was beautiful, the hotel is clean, I’m about to go exploring. If any of you are here already too, and want to do something, leave me a comment.
I decided that on my way here, I had to get a photo of the “Maryland Welcomes You” sign. So I pulled over, got my photo, and continued my drive. Traffic was light. Wouldn’t you know, with the no less than 5 battery chargers, miles of connector cords, and all the other crap I packed for 2 days and probly won’t use or need, including the 4 pairs of shoes or more I threw in the car at the last minute, I forgot the cord to connect my point and shoot Pentax to my powerbook. Why o why can’t any of my cameras have the same cords and/or chargers? For crying. out. loud. I’m smart, and efficient, and I will not be detoured.


Damn I am resourceful.

    Great McGyver moment. I assume you have duct tape, a nail file, a pencil sharpener, chopsticks and twine/yarn handy.

    Hey Julia, Thanks so much for the uber-special sockpal socks. They are so gorgeous and comfy. I just got your package yesterday. I love all the extra-special treats you placed in the package. I will post pics to my site as soon as I get rid of the monstrous migraine that is torturing me right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Holly

    You are very clever! Amanda & I brought the cooler that plugs into the car but forgot the converter so that we could plug it in our room. Thank goodness for ice machines!
    It was fun meeting you. cj

    It was great to get to meet you, lady! It’s nice to put the face to the name. You should come visit NY, I was totally serious on the offer. 🙂

    It was so great to meet you at the MSW on Saturday! What fun – and much thanks for pointing us to the Koigu/Mannings booth… repeatidly! Perhaps we were a bit overwhelmed by it all (at least that’s what I’m saying).

  18. Lolly says:

    SO great to meet you on Saturday!! Sorry we were not able to chat some more… things were so busy and overwhelming.
    Very happy that you and Erin got to connect too. You two need to start a line or something! 🙂

    Best wishes,
    Lolly

    Julia, it was so nice to meet you at the fiber festival! As NanC said, we could not have found the Koigu without you. And I wish we’d had more time to chat with you this weekend!

  21. Sarah says:

    Julia, just found your blog today and it’s beautiful! So is your sock yarn! I have yet to try socks but your gorgeous colorways make me want to start. I’m excited to see what you do in the future!
